Peter Wolf	Sunday 13 March 2011 7:52:22 pm Andy, Thanks for a hugely enjoyable week, working our way along the valleys and lift systems to the south of the Rhone Valley from Verbier to Zermatt. I loved visiting the less well-known resorts, like St. Luc, that turned out to be real gems: uncrowded but extensive and perfectly groomed pistes. The conditions were just great for practising those wide radius carving turns you taught us! That was beautifully balanced with some lovely off-piste sections, notably the classic Pas de Boeuf run down to Oberems, with - amazingly for this season - untracked powder pitches. The hotels and huts were welcoming & friendly, and comfortable with great food. The stand-out was the Hotel Weisshorn above St. Luc - not to be missed! This ski safari is a brilliant formula for anyone wanting rather more skiing and less climbing than a traditional hut-to-hut tour, but with similar variety and adventure, in stunning mountain terrain. All the best and thanks again, Peter

Andy,
